This Carneros stalwart has been crafting wine since 1969, when it started with a simple Chardonnay and has since expanded to Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon across 125 acres. They've got history, a shiny 2009 winery building, and a spot right across from Domain Carneros if you want to make a wine day of it.
